Beetroot is a nutritious and versatile vegetable that offers many benefits to its consumers. It is rich in vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C, folic acid, iron and magnesium, as well as antioxidants that can help prevent heart disease and boost the immune system. Beetroot also contains nitrates, which can improve blood circulation and lower blood pressure. In addition, beetroot’s fibre content can aid digestion and help control weight.

How to choose beetroot?

When choosing fresh and quality beetroot, look for hard, smooth-surfaced roots with a deep red colour. The size of the beetroot is also important; smaller sizes tend to be tastier and softer. Also check for green leaves if they are still on the beetroot; they should be fresh and bright green, a sign of freshness.

What time of year should you buy beetroot?

Beetroot is available in shops all year round, but the season starts in autumn and lasts until early spring. Beetroot is at its tastiest and most nutritious during this period, so it’s a good time to buy it.

How to store beetroot?

Beetroot should be stored in a cool, dark place where it will keep for up to several weeks. Remove the leaves before storage to prevent moisture loss, but leave about 2 cm of stem on the root to minimise moisture escape. If stored in a refrigerator, beets should be kept in a plastic bag or airtight container.

What can be made from beetroot?

Beetroot is a very versatile vegetable; it can be eaten raw or cooked. It can be used in salads, soups, side dishes and even smoothies. Beetroot is a great accompaniment to meat dishes, but it is also suitable for vegetarian and vegan dishes. Beetroot juice is also popular, and is not only tasty but also healthy.
